Creating an Event

Events are required to trigger runnables. To create a timing or mode-switch event, proceed as follows.

Note
Operation-invoked events are created, set up and assigned automatically at need (see Specifying a ClientServer Interface Prototype). They cannot be altered manually.

In the software component editor, open the Event Specification view.
Do one of the following:
- Right-click in the Events field and select Add Event from the context menu.
- In the Event menu, select Add Event.
- Press <Insert>.

Enter a name for the event and press <Return>.

Note
Event names must not begin with a number. If you enter a name that begins with a number, an allowed name is suggested instead. An event name must not be identical to a runnable name. If it is, a warning (WMdl388) is issued during code generation.
